The trouble with festivals is the huge amount of things you’ve got to think about – tent, blow up mattress, enough rations to stave off starvation for a small army, insect repellent, toilet paper…Come on folks it’s supposed to feel like fun – not prepping for doomsday
It’s about three miles from the nearest railway station, which is called Bruton, around £50 for a return train ticket, maybe cab share from station to cut costs and time, map details, and full address will be given once ticket bought, but just to wet your appetites here’s the plan:
We all arrive on Saturday lunchtime, pitch tents and settle in. Then at 2 o’clock it all kicks off.
First up it’s easy reggae and dub rhythms outside - courtesy of Prince Porky’s HIFI – nuff respec’ to Grant Dell, Nick Thistle and Lisa Lohan, and as the bass kicks in we’ll all be tucking into succulent slices of Hog roast thanks to Grant and Nick’s new outdoor catering enterprise Porky Prime Cuts. Along with prime pork there will be chicken and a range of healthy salads to go with your beats, plus brunch items on Sunday afternoon.
Don’t bother with cold bags, we’ll have beers, ciders, wines and spirits aplenty, but if you fancy something a tad more sophisticated be it a Daquiri or Marguerita, just ask our cocktail barman George he’ll shake up something special to order.
At 7.00 pm We’ll be firing up the main rig starting with some soul, funk and disco stomping into some house and then twanging it into a bit of techno then back again all the way through to Early Sunday evening, by which time if all goes to plan we’ll all be little more than one big twisted puddle of luurve. Please dispose of your own litter yourself, dont leave it for the farmer, his wife or the cows. There will be bins aplenty, so no excuses.
Our 24 hour party people up for the adventure and bringing their tunes include
Grace Sands AKA Digs DIY
Colin Dale

Richard Grey
Simon Atkinson

Paul NoKip

OK so there are no showers, but there are proper loos with wash basins. There won’t be any music after we shut down the rig Sunday eve, but we’re all welcome to stay until Monday morning for anyone who need to sleep it off before setting off for home. Its a child and pet free zone too. Fancy Dress optional, come as you alter ego maybe?
Some bnb's in the area too, should you not be into ground level........
At this point you may wish you had remembered to put up the tent before you started tucking into that hog roast.
